Just type IPv6 addrss in Address field of Ping test, or specify ::ipv6 suffix for hostname.

Quote from manual:

Address
Here you should provide the domain name (e. g. www.yahoo.com) or IP address (e. g. 204.71.200.68) of the host that you wish to monitor. Also you may provide IPv6 addresses (e.g. fe80::370:ff56:fed5:22) and specify hostname with suffixes ::ipv4 or ::ipv6 (e.g. www.google.com::ipv4 or www.6bone.net::ipv6).
If you specify hostname without any suffix, HostMonitor will try to resolve name into IP address using IPv4 protocol. If name cannot be resolved by IPv4 protocol, HostMonitor will try to use IPv6 protocol. If you specify hostname with ::ipv4 (or ::ipv6) suffix, HostMonitor will use IPv4 (or IPv6) protocol only.
Note: on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 IPv6 protocol is not supported. You may use menu Tools -> Local Info to check is your system IPv6 ready.
